Air Conditioning Delay: My A/C only turns on after 15-20 minutes.

My A/C only turns on after 15-20 minutes. The fan speed seems fine, but the cooling only kicks in after 15 to 20 minutes. At that time, there is a slight hissing noise and the air coming out is suddenly cold (not a gradual increase). Is this an electrical (magnetic clutch) problem? Seems like it isn't mechanical, given the circumstances... PLEASE HELP!! I LIVE IN TX AND SUMMER IS HERE!!!! :0

. With engine running check that A/C compressor clutch is engaged .
Try the different vent controls.
It could also be a sticking damper door in the duck work
The hissing sound could be the air passing through the closed door.
